Chocolate Chunk Sourdough Bread
I was never a fan of chocolatey bread until I made this. Using a sourdough and long fermentation time gives it great flavor. I love using dark molasses to make it extra dark and to give it more complexity. Eat with good butter for a divine experience ;)
The total time is about 18 hours, but it's mostly waiting time:
Pre-dough - 12 hours
First rising - 2 hours
Second rise - 3 hours
Bake time - 35 minutes

Preheat oven to 230C/445F. While preheating, place a shallow tray at the bottom of the oven for creating steam. We'll be pouring in boiling water in right before baking to get the steam.

When ready to bake, prepare some boiling water to pour in the tray at the bottom of the oven.

Cut a slit down the center of each bread dough right before putting in oven to bake.
